So interesting story. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":cat:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The reason I decided to buy this table, because I finally decided to learn the restoring process for wood furniture (of course as dilettante <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />). I like to do something new and learn new. I like to buy interesting old items, learn about them. I am buying a lot old stuff not only for me, for house, but most of them for presents for our big family (from my hubby's side). Everybody knows our presents for Christmas or BD, will be the best.
